a beloved Atlanta tradition for more than 50 years. From its debut
in the ‘50s as a children’s ride at the downtown rich’s
store, to its brief stint at the Egleston Children’s Hospital
festival of trees, five generations of Atlantans have ridden the
Macy’s pink pig into the holiday season.Priscilla
– The Original Pink Pig – began as a monorail along the
ceiling of rich’s, giving children the experience of “flying
over” the toy department. Later, another pig – Percival –
was added and they became known as the pink pig monorail twins.
Years later, the monorail was relocated to the roof of the
department store and the monorail twins took passengers on rooftop
rides viewing downtown atlanta and circling the great tree.

In
2003, Priscilla the pink pig was re-introduced to a new generation
of Atlantans. Since then, she has been back on track beneath a
170-foot, 1950’s-themed pink pig tent at the Lenox Square Mall
upper-level parking deck near Macy’s. Atlanta’s most
“pink-tacular” train ride travels along train tracks to carry
children and parents through a life-sized storybook that includes
the original pink pig and other holiday friends. Once again, a
portion of the proceeds from each ride will benefit the children’s
healthcare of Atlanta. To date, macy’s has donated more than
$470,000 to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
